Began the reconditioning process on a set of used door cards. Using Chemical Guys cleaners and a Bissell extractor I was very happy with the results. Not sure what the stains were but it was a nasty brown liquid that had been there for years. Couple of treatments and it came right out .

Adam, Where did you buy your cans and how much did you pay? Did you also get the special handle to tighten them?

I got it from a fellow MUD member @VidereStudios Price was very reasonable and he was good to work with.
I already had a handle for the cap.

Finally got the backup camera installed. It's in a spot where the spare tire will block it when I have it on the rear carrier, but for daily duty it looks like it will work well.

Unfortunately I noticed my front passenger seat was wet… and the front of the headliner at the top of the windshield… and the rear corners by the hatch. I checked and vacuumed the rear hatch seal and the front sunroof drains but that windshield leak will probably mean a R&R.

Finally got around to swapping out my O2 sensors. I had to re-pin them but used @NLXTACY vector file. I do have a couple more parts coming in tomorrow, TPS and cap/rotor all OEM.

The reason for re-pinning the O2 sensors I got were OBD2 ones. Using the Wits End vector file makes things so simple a caveman could do it.

Sure are some pretty bits....

Waiting on a few carrier bolts and some solid pinion spacers and it’s on!

Cheers

Finally Got my SCS Gunmetal Grey Rims! Also last weekend finished the rust control on the undercarriage and frame! grinded, wire brushed and treated with Corroseal. Then after the 24-hour cure period and no driving (yeah it was killing me) I painted everything with POR-15 Chassis Black. Sway-bar still had some rust but i'm going to upgrade so i did not waste time going to town on them. I think I need a Delta Panhard Bracket, as i get a little wobble on the rear. No Vibration on the highway.

I used the stain extractor cleaner on the right for the carpet (full strength), worked it in with a drill brush, and then vacuumed it out.

The cleaner on the on the left worked well for the plastic, rubber, and leather. It has UV block in it as well. For the armrests, I soaked a rag with it and slowly worked it into the leather and it lifted the dirt out.

I've had good experiences with Chemical Guys products in the past and this time was no different.

working to finish truck prep to head to Big Bend for a week tomorrow

..... removed rear seats and sorted gear and added the Dog bed in for the two GSD's..... my "puppy" is almost as big as his brother now and it'll be tighter fit then expected !
I need to pull the trigger on the TEQ passenger side Gullwing and Molle mount...

 

[RS6tofj80]

since this the "puppy" has added another 25lbs.... but nice having 210lbs of GSD on the job given that we'll be in the middle of nowhere...

I absolutely love my @yodaTEQ Gullwing - one of the most functional and often-used mods I've made. It makes things so much more efficient since I can quickly and easily access goods attached to the MOLLE panel, and access my fridge for a beverage without having to open the swing-outs or climb over the seats.

Missing the PNW? If you said “I miss the beer” We’d understand, but being from SanFran and Vancouver Island not sure why? U R in TX enough said, it must suck really bad, it is TX. Shangri-La is NM.

I spent a lot of time exploring WA, OR, and ID and quite a bit on foot backpacking and climbing stuff such as Rainier, Adams, Baker, St. Helens, and a host of lesser known mountains and seeing beautiful forests, year round snow capped mountains, hanging glaciers, massive waterfalls, beautiful beaches/coast lines, rainforest, and to add to all that...wildlife such as bald eagles(sometimes to numerous to count), osprey(witnessing their fishing skills), salmon coming up rivers/streams, bears, moose, elk, deer, etc....
Yeah, the micro brew scene is fantastic in the NW, but I wouldn't say that is the only notable thing up there. That is ridiculous.

Replaced starter on my daughters cruiser.

Ruger takedown 10/22...nice! That, 2 big dogs and a scary looking blade. Are nightmares mauraders really that big of a threat out there?

I want to see more of that tailgate cover you have.

Replaced the drag link and ends. PO marred the original link and crushed the boots on the link ends. Replaced with a @sleeoffroad beefier drag link and 555 drag link ends. Eliminated 95% of the steering wheel play. View attachment 2177567

Make sure you get those ends painted up.

Yup - since I can't do drawers due to height I think it's the perfect solution for extra storage and access to things without having to do the rear swingout...

the tailgate cover is from Adventure Ready - nicely finished and rugged. A great option if your not planning to cut the tailgate to create more storage.... I'd love a combo of this and the wagongear/ Back bay storage panel design to maximize the tailgate use...
